YES! But, there are differences with Foreign buyers/investors and US citizens,
Basic Requirements for Foreign Investors wishing to Purchase real estate in the US
1. Title Decisions
Decisions as to how title is taken should be address beforehand. Title can be taken as an Individual , a foreign corporation, a US corporation or trust. In these and other matters it is suggeesed to seek a competent accountant and/or lawyer with international experience.
2. Income Tax
Foreign Investors are taxed at a flat 30% federal tax rate on gross rental income, unless they take the "net election" on their income tax returns allowing them to take deductions for regular expenses before income tax is calculated. Furthermore anyone who collects income for a Foreign Investor is generally required to withhold 30% of the Gross Income such as rents.
3. Capital Gains Tax on Sales
Income resulting from the sale of US Real Property is taxable. The Capital Gains tax is calculated by using the Sale Price today minus the Original Sale Price, plus Capital Costs, minus Depreciation. Since this tax is approximately 20% of the gain, Sellers may consider an exchange. The time to divest can become the time to reinvest.
4. FIRPTA (Foreign Investment in Real PropertyTax Act)
Foreign Investors must acquire a US taxpayer identification number (TIN) before purchasing property.
